How I got here
My career in the yachting industry began with a simple yet powerful desire to explore the world and work with the sea. Starting in the stunning South of France, I embarked on my journey as a deckhand, seeking opportunities to work on board superyachts. It was here that I discovered not only my love for the ocean but also a passion for delivering exceptional service to high-end clients.
Working on superyachts has allowed me to explore some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations while ensuring that every client’s experience on board is seamless and luxurious. My dedication to excellence and my love for travel continue to fuel my journey in the yachting industry, where I strive to deliver unparalleled service every day.
Overall it has been a pleasure so far to be part of this incredible industry. Starting out as crewing, having first hand experience helping charter guests maximise their experience, right up to helping them find the right yacht and destination – the Journey has been unforgettable.
My passions
When I’m not at work, I enjoy a variety of activities that keep me grounded and balanced. Football is a major passion of mine, offering both a physical challenge and the camaraderie of team play. I also practice yoga regularly, which helps me maintain mental clarity and physical well-being, essential for the demands of life on a yacht.
Reading and writing are other pursuits that I deeply enjoy. Whether I’m diving into a captivating novel or exploring new ideas through writing, these activities allow me to unwind and continue my journey of personal growth. Each of these passions complements my professional life, keeping me energized and inspired both on and off the yacht.
WHY TJB SUPER YACHTS?
It has always been my dream to be part of a professional team that can make a difference and I believe TJB Superyachts offers a fantastic working environment and the support to help its brokers grow into something incredible. From the very first visit to TJB at our offices back in London 2 years ago, I know it was the perfect place for me to develop and be part of an amazing organisation. I feel the level of care and consideration this company offers to its clients is in perfect alignment with my morals and the way I operate – a great match!
My favourite cruising destination
Living in Barcelona, I have a very strong affiliation with the Balearic islands, a truly wonderful location for any charter onboard a Superyacht. Combined with its beautiful beaches , sensational calas/coves and vibrant bar and restaurant life it’s a magical destination. With my crewing days consisting of cruising around the islands including visits to locations like Mesquida bay ( Menorca ) Son Bou and many others, the memories stay true with me and I always remind my clients that this area is a must when chartering!
